B. Speeches by Jim Yong Kim (2012-19)

Absolute and Relative Poverty Measurement : A Survey

Decerf, Benoit (2022-04)

This paper reviews the debate opposing the absolute and relative approaches to monetary poverty measurement. The arguments for combining both approaches into a single “overall” monetary poverty measure are introduced. The most salient proposals of hybrid poverty lines are presented. Then, the reasons why specific poverty indices may be required when a hybrid line is used are discussed. The class of hierarchical poverty indices is described, focusing in particular on the hierarchical headcount ratio.

Welfare and Environmental Benefits of Electric Vehicle Tax Policies in Developing Countries : Evidence from Colombia

Callejas, Jerónimo; Linn, Joshua; Steinbuks, Jevgenijs (2022-04)

Developing countries face a major challenge of decarbonizing their light-duty vehicle fleet and transitioning to the broad use of electric vehicles. However, there is little evidence on which policies can most effectively facilitate that transition in these countries, distinguished by relatively low-income consumers and highly concentrated markets that distort vehicle markups. This paper analyzes existing and proposed policies aiming to reduce emissions from new passenger vehicles in Colombia, which has used preferential sales taxes and import tariffs to stimulate hybrid and electric cars sales. Using highly detailed data on vehicle purchases and attributes, the paper estimates an equilibrium model of Colombia’s market that includes a random-coefficients logit demand structure and endogenizes firms’ markups. Using the model to simulate policies, the analysis finds that Colombia’s sales tax and ...

Raising the Quality of Child Caregiving in Bangladesh

Rahman, Tashmina; Arnold, Tamara; Shams, Farzana; Rahman, Mokhlesur (2022-01-16)

Access to quality childcare is critical for improving child development outcomes and ensuring that the next generation of Bangladeshi children are better prepared to contribute as active citizens. Child caregivers play a pivotal role in developing children’s physical and cognitive growth in the early years of life. Moreover, access to quality childcare has been linked to higher women’s labor force participation and better economic growth. However, there remains a knowledge gap in the area of child caregiver skills, globally and particularly in the case of Bangladesh. In the case of Bangladesh, there is critical need to understand the complex child caregiver training structure and means to improve the system in helping the country ensure better child development outcomes, higher female workforce participation and ultimately its goal of becoming a developed country in the next two ...
